The Ecuadorian national team was eliminated from the World Cup in the last match, losing to Senegal 1-2. This is a bitter disappointment for a team that had shown much promise throughout the tournament. The African champions were deservedly victorious, more incisive and determined to win the match. This is the second time in Senegal's history that they have made it out of the group stage of a World Cup. For Ecuador, this was a very young team with much talent and they have many promises for the future.
